All cables, sockets, plugs, connections get warm when in use.

The usual ask for advice, then ignore all of it and do what they were going to do anyway.

No you don't. The black flex is part of the light, so is that connector. It will be going away with the old light. The wires to remove are those on the other side. The new light will be supplied with a connector.

They are not a thing because homes are not wired with a single circuit for all of the socket outlets any more. Likewise the days of a fusebox with 3 fuses in it for the cooker, sockets and lighting are long gone. Or any other rating. All circuits are radials. The ring for BS1363 socket outlets...

Reduce the size of the images. No one wants to go to some external site loaded with adverts and malware just to look at an image, assuming that external site did actually work, which in this case it doesn't. Even those which do work are infamous for deleting images or blocking access to them...

A top up with water once will not make any difference. If that is dropping often, then either there is a leak or it's overheating and chugging boiling water out. For either of those the problem must be fixed. Normally, that tank would only need a tiny top up perhaps once a year.

and what new features or fixes does this include? Answer - no one knows as Hager do not tell anyone why or what these updates are for, or even if they are required or not. In which case nothing acheived. Highly suspect behaviour if it is doing that. Like those internet connected smoke alarms...

For standard plasterboard and adhesive, leave about 20mm out of the wall, so the recess would be about 25mm for a 47mm box. Has the electrician already been found and agreed to this?

Those things are not intended to have the battery replaced. The CO sensor has a limited life, which is why that one and others like it have an expiry date on the back.

If it's one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_Hudl_2 then no. Latest is Android 5.1 which is already 10+ years old, the device is 12+ years old, all support for it ended years ago, no upgrades are possible. Wordle requires Android 7 or above.

It needs to be returned for a refund. Any other suggestions are just guessing.

Meaningless without the instructions. As it's made of metal with single insulated conductors inside that is obviously not true.

Impossible to know. As it has no instructions no terminal block no earth connection on what is obviously a metal enclosure no label to indicate who the manufacturer is nothing to suggest what those wires are for nothing indicating what voltage it requires or whether it's AC or DC the only...

It's so you can prepare some stew or other slop, place it in the cold oven, then set the timer and go out to work. The cold slop sits there all day going rotten, and hours later the oven turns on to cook at the set time. Then you are delayed on the way back so the food is burnt to a cinder and...

Don't bother, even if it can be made to work it will acheive nothing. Theoretically it could adjust the flame modulation based on heating demand and might perhaps save 2% on your fuel bill if it was all set up 100% properly and correct and the devices are 100% compatible with each other and all...

Very likely that the version of Android it has is too old and is not supported by modern apps.

How old is this device?

Normal operation for such things. But then the humidity levels outside changed due to rain / cold weather / other. Choices - either spend the rest of your life constantly adjusting the device so it may work correctly for a short time or forget about humidity sensors and get a fan controlled...

That means nothing. Most 'PAT Testing' comprises sticking a label on it. Sometimes it might have been near a machine that passes a few milliamps through the wiring for some purpose or other. Many plugs are cheap poorly made junk. Silver coloured pins are the usual giveaway. Using such a plug...

Yes, but that would mean you need the landing lights on AND the new switch on for the loft light to work. Far better to add the new loft light switch and connect it to a permanent source of power rather than from an existing switched light.
